It seems that timeouts are a fairly common cause of failures in various sorts of updates. This suggests a couple of things to me: 1. Perhaps the default should be higher. 2. Perhaps it would be good to be able to set this as an option in packagemanager. Of course, a given system might need different values for some repositories than others. So if you allow it to be configurable, you might want to associate the value with the repository. That way you could have longer timeouts on those repositories you'd expect poorer network connections.
